The year is almost over, so we wanted to ask what was memorable about 2011 for you, and what are you looking forward to in 2012? Do you have a new year’s resolution, or any exciting plans for the coming year?
Have a safe and happy New Year, from Starr Orthodontics!
The 2011 holiday season is upon us, and our team at Starr Orthodontics would like to wish all our patients and their families the merriest of holidays and best wishes for the New Year.
We thought we’d ask: what do you love most about this time of the year? Do you have any plans for an exciting family vacation? Are you hanging out around town? Catching up on sleep? Spending time with friends? Let us know!
Please feel free to share your exciting winter plans and experiences with us here or on our Facebook page! We would like to wish all of our patients and their families a safe and fun holiday season! We look forward to seeing you back in the office soon.
This week, all of us at Starr Orthodontics are pleased to share that we have awarded our first two “new smiles” through our Smile for a Lifetime program. We are so excited to welcome Isabella and Amber to our family!
Even if you brush and floss daily, as well as maintain your braces it is still important to visit your local dentist every 6 months, or as recommended. Why?
• Your dentist can detect and treat tooth and gum problems that you may have never felt or noticed.
• Even thorough daily oral care may not be enough to prevent cavities and oral decay.
• Frequent visits can allow your dentist to treat a problem early to prevent future complications.
During an oral exam your dentist can check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing.
If you have not visited a dentist in the past six months, please let us know! Drs. Gary Starr and Steven Dickens will be happy to provide a few great references here in the area!

Your smile has a huge impact on your personal development. Here at Starr Orthodontics, we understand how your smile can change your life. That’s why we recently began a Charlotte Smile for a Lifetime chapter. It is the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation’s mission to create self confidence, inspire hope, and change the lives of children in our community in a dramatic way. If you or someone you know has a severe esthetic need for orthodontic treatment, we encourage you to apply for one of our Smile for a Lifetime Foundation orthodontic scholarships. We hope to give away 12 orthodontic scholarships to deserving kids this year! For more information, we encourage you to check out Drs. Dickens and Starr’s recent interview with News14.com.
